Hongying and Marshall lost consciousness after entering the Forbidden Island.

Hongying was a little conscious, and her fingers trembled for a moment. I suddenly felt the wind spraying on my face, and after a while, it felt a little wet and sticky, and it smelled a little.

Hongying opened her eyes suddenly, and saw a long, black horse face appear in front of her eyes. Red Ying stared at it with round eyes, and it looked at Red Ying with round eyes.

Hongying cautiously raised her hand and touched the black horse's face.

The black horse shook his head and "purred" twice, his soft mane shining black as it shook.

Hongying didn't have any strength at all, she barely supported her upper body, and looked at the tall and sturdy black horse: "Wow." ”

The black horse took two steps back and looked at Hongying.

Hongying slowly stood up, didn't walk towards the black horse, just stood in place and looked at it: "Hello." Hongying looked around, and there were horses everywhere, some walking, some grazing.

The most eye-catching thing among the horses is the dark horse in front of Hongying's eyes now.

Hongying's eyes lit up: "You are so beautiful, so handsome." Can I touch you? ”

The dark horse is like being able to understand Hongying's words, and walks towards Hongying step by step.

Hongying happily touched the black horse's neck, and then hugged it hard: "I like you so much, you are so handsome." ”

Hongying let go of the dark horse with some embarrassment: "But, isn't this a forbidden island?" How can there be so many horses here? ”

The dark horse began to slowly circle around Hongying, who was a little confused: "What's wrong?" ”

The black horse screamed, and the surrounding horses suddenly looked up in the direction of Hongying, who blinked in panic.

Red Ying slowly noticed that they were not looking at her, but at the top of her head. She looked up at the picture projected in front of her.

"What is this?"

It still looks like Rose Ridge, but it is full of trees and soft grass, not all thorns and yellow sand.

"This is King Angli? So young, was this a thing of the past? ”

In 508, when the kingdom of Shandan had just been destroyed, King Anli brought a large group of mountain wild horses from Shandan back to the Rose Kingdom, because these mountain wild horses were faster than any of the precious war horses in the Rose Kingdom, and Anli wanted to develop a kind of war horse that could be used at high speed wherever he was.

At that time, King Anli wanted to use such a war horse to break through the border defense built by the mountains of the Peony Kingdom. But the fire at Rose Ridge Racecourse completely killed King Anli's wishful thinking.

What she saw was a picture from the eyes of these horses. You can see how cruel King Anli treated those horses. Hongying lowered her head a little reluctantly, the hissing sound in her ears pierced her heart. It was as if she could feel the pain in the horse's body.

She couldn't help but glance at the black horse, wondering if she was wrong, Hongying could see that there were tears in its eyes.

Hongying gritted her teeth and looked up.

After two years, a foal was born in the middle of the farm. Because of the foal's small size and deformities on its back, King Anli angrily decided to burn him alive. The foal's mother wants to save the poor foal from the fire.

So it kicked and wounded the knights, and Angli ordered it to be killed.

The foal, whose body was burned by fire, watched his mother fall before his eyes, tears streaming from his eyes. Instead of being burned to death, the foal stood up tremblingly, and the knights and the king looked at the foal in surprise.

They attack the foal as they retreat, and the flames set the stables on fire. King Angli, who had no choice, withdrew for the time being.

At this time, the other horses, as if they were spiritual, began to rebel and galloped towards the king of Angli. They kicked the straw that caught fire, and the fire quickly spread throughout the racecourse, and the knights fenced off the racecourse, ready to extinguish the fire.

But the foal was still angry, and it was trembling and unsteady on its way, walking on four weak legs towards King Angli.

The fire was fierce, and the sparks floated up and fell on the trees of Rose Ridge, and the moment of "rubbing", the entire Rose Ridge was set on fire.

The knights had no choice but to leave Rose Ridge with King Angli.

The foal stood at the entrance to Rose Ridge, staring at King Angli, his figure crooked by the firelight.

The fire burned for three days and three nights, the fire was extinguished, and the forest was gone. There are thorny thorns everywhere, and they just don't want anyone to set foot in this territory.

The foal has grown into the dark horse it is now, and the companions it protects have their own offspring and can live here without worry.

As soon as there is a person who strays into the Rose Ridge, all the magic will be sucked out and then die. Bones can be reduced to ashes and disappear into the air.

The picture disappeared, and Hongying looked at the dark horse: "Why am I okay?" That's right! What about Marshall? ”

The black horse walked to the side with Hongying, and Hongying saw Marshall's whole body scratched by thorns, and he was lying there covered in injuries.

Hongying slapped Marshall's face, and the temperature was no longer felt in his hands.

"Marshall! Marshall! Hongying shook Marshall nervously.

Hongying muttered to herself: "He's dead? ”

"That's right, he's dead. You are currently the first person to survive. ”

"Marshall! Marshall! Wake up! You can't die! Hongying's eyes turned red, it all felt like it was fake, and Hongying couldn't believe it was real.

She frowned and looked at the dark horse in surprise: "You can speak!" ”

"To be precise, you understand my language."

"You hate King Angli, but why would you want to harm those innocent people?"

"I didn't."

"And how do you explain this?" Hongying didn't choke, but tears kept flowing out.

Hongying also thinks that it may be some illusion or prank, Marshall will not die, it will not be so sudden.

"If his magic is drained, he will die, and I can't help it."

"He has no enmity with you, why did you kill him?"

"I said, I didn't, I didn't make the curse." The dark horse looked at the red glow.

Red Ying wanted to take Marshall off the thorns, but there was not much magic left on his body.

"Damn, my magic is draining little by little. I have to get you out. I'm sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't have run in out of curiosity, I hurt you. Hongying dragged Marshall's heavy body, gradually feeling the fact that Marshall was dead.

Hongying has been feeling this feeling of powerlessness for a long time, and no matter how hard she tries, she can't resist the powerlessness of fate. Hongying couldn't accept this fact, she gritted her teeth and carried Marshall on her back: "Marshall, I'm going to take you out of here!" There will definitely be a way to save you. ”

"Keep going there and you're leaving." The black horse lifted his front legs forward.

Hongying looked at the thorns in front of her, gritted her teeth, and walked forward.

The black horse looked at Hongying's small body and carried Marshall's huge body into the thorns.

The thorns of the thorns kept cutting through the red glow's skin, and the wounds were gradually blurred one after another. Hongying's legs began to shake disobediently, and the feeling of helplessness devoured Hongying's heart.

Her eyes were blurred with tears, and Hong Ying cried and told herself, "Don't cry!" It's useless to cry, and if I have the strength to cry, I'll have the strength to take Marshall out. Can't stop! I still have a lot to do! The little girl is still waiting for me! ”

Marshall on his back was getting heavier and heavier, and Hongying's legs couldn't bear it anymore, so Goo Dong knelt down.

Hongying insisted on not putting Marshall down, and the bloody wound made the mana drain faster.

Hongying sniffled: "King Angli took away your family, so you want to take my family too?" ”

Hongying's trembling hand wiped her tears, even though her face was full of tears, her eyes still refused to admit defeat. Hongying's breathing became difficult, and strange images began to appear in front of her.

Hongying lowered her head and saw the holster around her waist: "Moonlight Flower." ”

She held it in her hands: "Why are you okay?" You have so much magic, but you are of no use to you when I need you most. Why do I have to collect all three to use them, I'm going to die. Hongying pouted and angrily threw away the moonlight flower, "I'm angry." ”

Marshall was still pressed against Hongying's back, she supported her upper body hard, and muttered, "I want to live...... I'm getting out of here......"

Hongying's mouth kept thinking in pieces, but her body didn't move, and the ground was already full of blood.

The black horse followed them along the trail of blood left by the red glow.

The black horse raised his eyebrow bone and slowly walked towards Hongying: "I'll take you away, your friend shouldn't be dead yet, as for whether he can be rescued, I don't know." ”

Although Hongying was angry, she had to look at the dark horse silently.

"Why did you save me?"

"A person who can understand a horse should not be a bad person."

"Then can you help me bring me that broken stone?"

"Broken Stone, the one you just lost?"

"Yes."

"Didn't you say it was useless?"

"If you can get out, you can use it to save another person."

The dark horse looked at Hongying, and silently picked up the moonlight flower and handed it to Hongying. It knelt beside Hongying, who struggled to climb onto the horse.

The two bones on the horse's back were covered by Hongying, and Hongying touched the two bones that protruded from the height.

"What is this?"

"I don't know, I was born with these two extra bones."

Hongying seemed to have a little strength in her body, and sat up: "Haha, will there be wings here?" ”

"Aren't you dying? And the strength to joke. ”

"I don't know why, I seem to have a little strength on my body, and my back is not so heavy."

"That's because you forgot about your friends." There was a little more disgust in the dark horse's tone.

"Oh, that's right." Hongying carried Marshall onto the horse, and then hugged him herself, "Alright. ”

The dark horse stood up: "You two are really a little heavy. ”

"Well, thank you."

"Weren't you still scolding me just now?" The dark horse walked slowly.

"Maybe you didn't really curse or something. Otherwise, you won't save me. ”

"Then why is there a curse?"

"Don't you know?"

"I don't know. After driving the king away, I fainted, and it was my companions who brought me to where I am now living. ”

"You're an old horse now. Why is it that you are the only dark horse, your offspring? Hongying asked.

"My coat is blackened by flames, but I'm older than the others, and I feel like I'm still young. I can still run. ”

"Really? Can you run? ”

"Then I'll run."

The black horse ran up on the rough mountain road, and Hongying clamped her legs hard to keep herself from falling off the horse.

"I didn't expect you to be able to sit so firmly."

"You reminded me of when I was a kid and my brother rode Rona with me, and it was so good. I never had a chance to play with it since, and it wasn't long before Lorna passed away and I never had a chance to see it again. ”

"How did she die?"

"Old age, old age. I miss it so much. ”

"You named the horse."

"Well, my brother's father made it, she is a descendant of war horses, and she is a wonderful horse. Do you have a name? ”

"Name, no."

"Frona, can I call you that?"

"Flona." Dark Horse repeated, "And what's your name?" ”

"My name is Hongying." Hongying's voice grew louder.

"Red Glow. Your voice sounds like you're fine. Flora slowed down.

Hongying moved her legs: "My leg doesn't hurt anymore." Hongying looked down at her wounds, which were healing!

"What's going on?" Flora paused.

Hongying noticed that the moonlight flower was glowing: "Frona, I need to come down." ”

Frona lowered her body and let Hongying dismount. Red Ying walked over to Flora and took out the Moonlight Flower.

Frona looked at the moonlight flower that was shining with light: "What is this?" It's glowing. Ah......h

"What's wrong? Flona. ”

"My back hurts!" Frona fell to her knees, and Marshall on horseback fell.

Hongying helped Marshall aside and looked at Verona worriedly.

The light of the moonlight flower became more and more dazzling, and Hongying closed her eyes, only to hear the sound of "ah-".

The light seemed to disappear, and Hongying slowly opened her eyes, and Frona disappeared from front of her eyes, only to hear the sound of the wind blowing in her ears.

Hongying turned her head to find that Marshall was also gone, and when she turned her head, Marshall was already standing in front of her.

Hongying hugged Marshall: "Marshall, you scared me to death, I thought you were dead." ”

Marshall stared blankly at the sky: "Hongying, you, you look up." ”

Hongying followed Marshall's gaze and looked up at the sky: "F, Flona? ”

The sunlight shone through Flona's black wings, like the appearance of a god in the sky falling into the mortal world, and Hongying opened her mouth slightly to look stunned.

Hongying looked at the huge wings: "Frona, you can fly." You're ......"

When Flora returns to the ground, Red Ying is blown backwards by the wind blowing from her wings, but fortunately Marshall holds Red Ying.

Frona didn't know how to put her wings away, and turned in circles in a bit of a panic: "This, this wing?" ”

Hongying walked up to Frona and touched its wings: "I've seen it, I've seen it, I've seen it in that diary, you're the god of freedom." You are the treasure of Shandan. ”

"What are you talking about? I don't understand. Flora looked at Hongying.

Marshall stood beside Hongying, watching the dark horse warily.

Flora looked at Marshall: "Are you awake?" What the hell is going on? ”

Hongying looked at Flora excitedly: "Flora, you must have resonated with the Moonlight Flower." You saved us. ”

Marshall didn't understand what was going on, but he trusted Hongying's judgment.

"Do you still feel like you're losing your mana now? Is the curse still there? ”

Hongying took a breath, released flames from her palms, looked at the flames and said, "I don't feel any signs of mana loss now. Marshall, how are you feeling? ”

Marshall moved his body: "It's just that it hurts a little." He also looked at Hongying and frowned, "What's the matter with the injuries on your body?" ”

Hongying raised her leg, saw that the wound was almost healed, and said, "It's okay, I'm fine." Didn't you see the wound just now, the flesh turned out, that's scary. ”

Hongying turned around and pointed to the blood along the way: "Look at those that are all shed by me." ”

Marshall looked at the blood, and his leg went limp. He quickly closed his eyes, held his head, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Marshall, what's wrong with you?" Hongying held Marshall.

"I'm a little, a little dizzy." Marshall straightened up, "You, how did you get hurt?" ”

"Faint blood? I didn't expect you to faint blood, if it weren't for the fact that you were dying, I would have wanted to save you, thorns along the way. I was wounded for your sake, and you owe me my life! Hongying said it in a joking tone.

But Marshall could still feel the pain through this amount of blood.

Hongying smiled strongly and comforted Marshall: "You should be okay now, right?" ”

The strong red screen will no longer show vulnerability in front of herself. This made Marshall even more painful, unspeakably painful. The feeling of pinching my heart was so painful that I was about to suffocate: "You are obviously very painful and uncomfortable, why are you so strong?" If you want to cry, you can cry, because I kissed you and lied to you, are you still angry with me? ”

"It's all in the past." The smile on Hongying's face stiffened slightly.

"But I'm still your family, your friend. Why do I feel like we're getting farther and farther apart? Marshall hung his head sadly.

Hongying sighed and put away the smile on her face: "You are my family, I can give my life to save you, but I can't forgive you." You are my shadow, a nightmare, I am afraid that you will hurt Tianyu, I am afraid that I will hurt you. Even though you are my family, I can no longer trust you unconditionally, do you know how painful I am? Do you know? ”

Marshall watched Hongying dumbfounded, and said this somewhat hysterically.

Hongying's head was buried very low: "I almost lost you forever, do you know how scared I am?" ”

Marshall looked at the yellow sand on the ground soaked with tears, licked his dry lips, turned around and squatted down with his head in his hands, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
